Well good morning Captain 
Good morning to you Sir 
Hey hey yeah 
Do you need another mule skinner 
Down on your new mud run 
Hey hey yeah 
Yodel-a-ee-he-he 
He-he-he-he-he-he 

Well I'm a lady mule skinner 
From down old Tennessee way 
Hey hey I come from Tennessee 
I can make any mule listen 
Or I won't accept your pay 
Hey hey I won't take your pay 

Yodel-a-ee-he-he 
He-he-he-he-he-he 

Well hey hey little waterboy 
Won't you bring your water 'round 
Hey hey 
If you don't like your job 
Well you can throw your bucket down 
Throw it down boy, throw it down 

Yodel-a-ee-he-he 
He-he-he-he-he-he 

Well I've been working down in Georgia 
At a greasy spoon café 
Hey that lovely joint 
Just to let a no good man 
Call every cent of my pay 
Hey hey and I'm sick of it 
And wanna be a mule skinner 

Yodel-a-ee-he-he 
He-he-he-he-he-he 
Yodel-a-ee-he-he 
He-he-he-he-he-he 

Mule skinner blues
